A robust, sensitive, and reliable multi-residue LC-MS/MS method workflow solution that uses the Thermo Scientific TSQ Altis triple quadrupole mass spectrometer provides analysis and quantitation of more than 160 veterinary drugs with the Thermo Scientific VetDrugs Explorer Collection solution in salmon (fillet), bovine muscle, and milk. The complete instrument and data processing method including SRM settings is included with the VetDrugs Explorer Collection start-to-finish workflow solution. In 17 minutes, the target veterinary drugs were detected and quantified in food matrices.
Antibiotics are widely used to treat diseased animals, prevent diseases and promote growth. However, inappropriate or excessive usage of antibiotics can result in antibiotic residues being found found in food and food products of animal origin. In here, a multi-residue, confirmatory method for the quantitative determination of antibiotics in chicken meat is described using the Thermo Scientific Transcend TLX system coupled to an LC-MS/MS. With online sample cleanup and high sample throughput, this approach addresses the demand for a fast and cost-effective multi-analyte method.
The use of LC-MS/MS for screening was described in a validated multi-residue screening method to monitor 58 antibiotics in milk.
